“This show has an absolute blank check from its network and its audience when it comes to gay content, and what we get in return is pandering soft-core with zero story weight whatsoever?

This is, sadly, par for the course for True Blood, a show that’s constantly praised as being one of TV’s gayest, but what do we get? We get winking dream sequences, we get sad gay crushes, we get quickly-forgotten lesbian dalliances.”

And even those winking dream sequences or sad gay crushes aren’t treated equally, es evidenced by any one of Sookie’s never-ending sex scenes. In other words, straight sex can be explicit but gay sex cannot. Gay sex is inferior. Gay anything is inferior. What a lovely lesson to be reinforcing to those who already deem gay inferior… or worse, to those who question their own sexuality and get the wrong answer from watching True Blood.
